A man of many talents, one of the finest indie actors, and... the one who has done and said
some things that earned him the reputation of a weirdo....
Without therapy I don’t know how you are supposed to do life.
Since he rocketed into the spotlight, Robert Pattinson has been known for giving quirky
interviews and doing deeply odd things.
While cooking a sugar-covered pasta, he nearly burned down his kitchen. He bore to death
his stalker, so that she simply disappeared. Pattinson often opened up about his “dramatic”
stories — from “witnessing a clown’s death” to “pleasuring a dog” on set!
Many of the stories appeared to be fakes. Why does he invent them? Are you thrilled
to learn? Then subscribe to RumourJuice YouTube channel and let’s explore these not-so-normal
things that got Robert Pattinson in trouble and made him look weird.
The first time I went to see the circus, one of the clowns died. His little car exploded…
It was terrifying. Robert said that was his first and last time
at the circus. Dark, right? It sounds like some kind of really traumatic experience — with
no less traumatic after-effects. But set your mind at rest! The 34-year-old soon-to-be Batman
doesn’t have any clown-shaped wounds. And he is not scared of Joker. Pattinson simply
invented that “dramatic” story! Perhaps, to impress his audience on The Today Show,
where he appeared back in 2011. The actor was there to promote his movie Water for Elephants,
in which he played a man who ran away with the circus. A week after that interview, he
revealed the story had been made up: “Someone asked me what my experience with the circus
was and I was like, I have nothing interesting to say. I don’t know why I said that!”
Well, Rob, we wonder why as well. Because — again — it’s quirky. Just like the
recipe that you invented. A fast food pasta — with sugar, pre-sliced cheese and… an
exploding microwave. Yes, you heard me right! Pattinson nearly burned down his kitchen in
London. Perhaps, being bored on lockdown, he came up with a “stunning” idea — to
cook his own pasta dish. Having wrapped the tray in foil, he put that… No, not in an
oven. In his microwave! Er, that is not really safe. After nearly starting a fire, Robert
said: “I mean, there’s absolutely no chance this is gonna work. Absolutely none.”
Hm, you would be surprised, but the strange recipe went viral. As a result — a lot of
memes. Well, for Rob it’s a usual thing. He often breaks the Internet — not only
with his great acting, but also with some deeply odd things…
Perhaps, it all started when he was a kid. Rob had two sisters who used to dress him
up as a girl and introduce him as Claudia. That was until he turned 12. Hm, pretty eccentric
for a shy kid like Rob. Well, that shyness didn't go away even after he skyrocketed to
fame. Yes, despite being adored by millions of girls, he is — QUOTE — “quite shy.”
He gets really nervous before interviews and likes to have a “little time to think”
before answering questions. I’ve always had a problem actually thinking
before I open my mouth. Isn’t that too self-critical? We guess so.
But sometimes his mouth really gets him in trouble. Well, we mean people can’t get
if he’s joking or not...
Yes, he said that he had to perform a sex act on a dog for his movie Good Time. And
what’s even more shocking — he was allegedly asked to “do it for real!” Of course,
the story spiralled out of control. The next day, Rob clarified his remarks. He
said he was not being serious. Just another bawdy joke. As Trump would say — fake news.
But why on earth would he make up this story?
I was trying to make Jimmy laugh, only to create confusion and a false impression.
Believe it or not, but many of these stories are not even Rob himself. That’s — QUOTE
— a “gremlin in his mind.” Perhaps, it is him — not Pattinson — who ACTS OUT
all the time. The actor jokes that during interviews the gremlin inside of him thinks:
“Just say something shocking. You’re only here for a few minutes, say something terrible.”
Well, that’s weird... but NOT boring! We all remember your disdain for boredom. Yes,
Rob has a very little patience when it comes to non-creative types. He — QUOTE — would
“send them behind bars”, so that they “learn to be creative.” Well, if that’s
the case, at one point Pattinson himself would also end up in prison! Once he bore to death
his own stalker, who wouldn’t let up for three weeks! While Rob was filming a movie
in Spain, she stood outside of his apartment. All day every day! Eventually, Pattinson took
her out to dinner — out of boredom, of course. He kind of complained about his life for two
hours! And guess what? Rob never saw her again afterwards. She never returned to the doors
of his apartment.
Oh, dear! Hardly can we imagine Rob being boring! Yet, that’s not the only shocking
thing. Believe it or not, he used to steal things as a kid. Not a candy bar or gummies.
The Twilight star would steal porn magazines and sell them at his elite school in London.
I would sell it for like 20 pounds… like 30 bucks.
So, morals aside, it seems that his adult mag hustle was a well-established “business!”
Hm, kind of! As it often happens, in the end, it failed. Pattinson was caught and expelled
from his school.
Not greedy, but frugal. Despite earning millions for The Twilight Saga, Robert Pattinson says
he doesn’t like to splash out on lavish purchases.
The only thing I’ve really bought in my life is my car, which costs 1,500 dollars
and keeps exploding.
Though his father was a vintage car dealer, Robert Pattinson himself is not that used
to driving. And who cares? Rob doesn’t drive. Because he “gets driven.”
Well, practice makes perfect, they say. That’s, probably, what Rob thought when he made up
his mind to become a ballet dancer.
Yes, you heard him right. He wants to transform himself into a ballerina — but only on screen.
He never took ballet classes. And he has not the slightest clue about the techniques. Despite
all this, Pattinson says he has been trying to find a ballet movie for years! That comes
as a real surprise! Why does he find it fascinating? The answer is simple: Rob likes tackling those
roles no one would expect from him. He loves to take up things that are completely new
to him.
If I was going after parts which seem somehow relatable to my real self, I would be consistently
playing chronically insecure losers.
Or, perhaps, some odd guys. Just like Batman, right? Don’t get us wrong, but he isolates
himself from others, dresses up like a bat, and spends his nights beating up criminals.
That’s unusual, right? And Rob, as we know, has a penchant for playing
unusual roles and… sometimes — not telling the truth. While he was filming Tenet with
Christopher Nolan, Pattinson tried to hide his screen test for The Batman. Yes, he kept
the fact a secret. He told Nolan that he had a family emergency. As soon as he said that,
Nolan replied: “You’re doing the Batman addition, aren’t you?”
Yes, that’s what we are saying! Not just about Batman. Rob is also like that. Why?
Well, he spins in circles. Eats mud. Forces himself to gag. Sometimes he beats himself
on set and sticks his fingers down his throat. Can you imagine his co-stars watching Pattinson
doing these things before his scenes? Obviously, this surprised and shocked them! His fellow
actor Willem Dafoe says he finds it “wacky.” Though he adds he’s not trying to judge.
Well, and neither do we. We are just wondering why? And here is the possible answer: it’s
just a method he invented to keep his performances fresh. Though Robert Pattinson says he — QUOTE
— doesn't “really know how to act.” Well, perhaps, if he never gets Batman’s
vibe, people will agree. We guess Robert is ready for that. He’s a catastrophist.
I'm always thinking that the worst-case scenario is actually going to happen. So when it does
happen, I'm like: 'Gah! OK! I'm prepared!
What if he really fails and his version of Batman is not a success? Don’t worry! Rob
has an exit strategy all mapped out. He’ll — QUOTE — do “art-house porn.” LOL,
maybe his biggest fans wouldn't mind seeing that part of Robert Pattinson, too. Hold on,
guys! Rob was simply kidding. Jokes aside, Pattinson believes he is the harshest critic
of his own work. Then the star continued: “I don’t need to worry about anyone else.”
And what are YOUR thoughts? Do you think he will fail as Bruce Wayne and start doing porn?
